JSU head coach considered for FAMU position, report says

It appears Jackson State University head football coach Rick Comegy is being considered for a new job in Florida.

According to the Tallahassee Democrat, the 59-year-old coach of the JSU Tigers is being considered to head the Florida A&M University Rattlers.

Comegy's name was accidentally left out of the mix originally. The application process closed Dec. 11.

FAMU Athletic Director Derek Horne said he expected to have a coach in place by Jan. 12, with the interview process starting Jan. 2.

According to JSU's website, Comegy has been working with successful student-athletes and championship-winning teams for more than 30 years, including a trip to the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship this past season and a SWAC championship win in 2007, his second year as head coach at JSU.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said Sunday it was "very alarmed" by reports of widespread doping by track and field athletes in major competitions including the Olympic Games and world championships.
